WAUSAU - Scott Sann had heard his wife talk about threats she got while working on emotional family cases. He never thought someone would act on those words.

That's what he told a small crowd of reporters on Monday afternoon in a press conference at the Marathon County Courthouse to announce Sara's Law, a proposed amendment to state law that will add protections for lawyers appointed by a court to represent the best interests of children, called guardians ad litem, like his late wife, Sara Quirt Sann.
